Unwords!
(Disclaimer: This blog entry is mainly composed of things copy-pasted from Unwords.com. I know some people frown upon this kind of creative laziness, but it's Friday - sue me!)
I love words. Big ones, small ones, strange ones, funny ones - they're all friends to me! Now, sometimes words evolve (or degenerate, depending on your point of view) into new words and then they end up on Unwords.com - a super-duper site for new breeds of words! I've taken the liberty to list a few of the entries here, to whet your appetite for more...
Destinasia - a. (n.) Going upstairs or downstairs and being unable to remember why.
Disconfect - a. (v.) To sterilize the piece of candy you dropped on the floor by blowing on it, somehow assuming this will "remove" all the germs.
Docuphobia - a. (n.) The fear of using documentation, usually resulting from some previous traumatic event such as programming a VCR.
Drylowgraph - a. (n.) Any strange, unintelligible symbol that accompanies the washing instructions on clothing labels
Malbingophobia - a. (n.) The fear among some bingo players that they have incorrectly marked a square, and calling "bingo" could cause them not victory, but public humiliation.
Meandrathal - a. (n.) Any person in an exhausted state of mind in which they wander aimlessly, sometimes with low blood-sugar, in a shopping mall, video store or the like.

A blogger's lament
Dear readers of late,
I bring saddening news:
My blog's in a state
of writer's block blues!
So this Blogger entry
(though rhyming quite well)
is quite elementary,
as I'm sure you can tell.
It's not so by choice,
or fate, if you will:
For uttering my voice
is usually a thrill.
It's not that I'm lazy,
or tired or sad,
it's not that I'm crazy
(or ate something bad).
The reason my site
is lackluster and dull,
and lacking in bite
when it should have been full:
The reason is this
(and I hate to admit) -
I have nothing to say,
and thus nothing to submit.
----------------------------------
(Ok, so that last line
didn't rhyme all that well:
I don't always refine,
but at least I can spell!)
